Thanks for your feedback!
Sorry for those 20 failed attempts, making that platforming section take 20 tries was definitely not our intention. :0We're currently working on making the levels feel more like a Metroidvania. We're really happy that you enjoyed the music! Unfortunately, we weren't the ones who created it, but we plan to make music like that ourselves in the future.
We're also planning to redo all of the sprites, especially to address the issue of the map feeling a bit dull. We want to add more detail and make the environments more visually interesting.
About the character,we're still discussing whether to keep the character this small. We'd like to add flying enemies and more bosses, and we're worried that zooming in too much could make it harder to see enemies on screen during gameplay.
Thanks again for taking the time to play our game and share your thoughts. Your feedback is really valuable to us, and it will help us make the game better!
